Netbooks got walloped in 2011 by a combination of cheap small laptops, newfangled tablets, and the late arrival of new-generation Intel Atom microprocessors. Several netbook makers phased out older model netbooks based on the Pineview Atom processors early in 2011 for new designs based on...

Wasn't it December 2001 when the great disaster happened over at that other place? Then, a couple of weeks later in January 2002, this place (storageforum.net) was invented by Doug?

The Hyper-V hypervisor and software package will all be rolled into the next major release of Windows Server: Windows Server 2008 /R2 -- which should be available 10 to 12 months from now, or November / December 2009. By the way, Windows Server 2008 /R2 will only be released as a 64-bit...

I've got one, and this is not one of those toy phasers. This is a real-deal lethal phaser that can do the full spectrum of Stun up right on up through Kill. These things are not toys! I mistakenly lent it to these f%$king idiots for their video -- used at the 3:08 mark...

I've heard various reports that Vista and these latest high-capacity Samsung hard drives have some sort of incompatibility. One of these drives can act screwy under Vista, but work just hunky dory under WinXP. Other hard drives work fine under Vista or WinXP.

Where the hell is everybody!?!

If you are talking about the "square-ish" 4-pin (2x2) Molex power connector with 2 yellow and 2 black wires, that is a +12 volt microprocessor power connector. That connector was introduced at the beginning of the Pentium 4 era. PCI Express power connectors are similar 6-pin (3x2) Molex...

Heh. I'd be lucky to make 9237 points inn 2 months! But then again, all I gots here is a 3.2 GiggleHurtz Pentium 4 folding it's brains out 24/7. :silent: http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userpage&username=sf-[SPLASH]-gh Maybe I'll have a system based on a 45nm Quadcore...

Of note to those who may not know: XP Home *will* work with multiple cores in one socket -- just not 2 sockets. But only XP Professional will work with two sockets (multiple cores -- or not -- in each socket). In other words, XP Home is sufficient for a single quad core system.

Seagate has been qualifying a complete range of 1.0 TB hard drives -- though, I suspect the consumer version could have been released 2 or 3 months ago. There's also the OEM factor with Seagate. They will substantially supply their contract customers like Dell, HP, Sun, EMC, NetApp, et...

I use a very similar Supermicro case (an SC-942) to the SC-743 below. Supermicro SC942 I have my SC-942 setup to allow 5-each SAS/SATA and 5-each SATA drives (capable of housing 10 hard drives) in 2 separate hot-plug SCA bays, along with a front panel 5.25-inch USB + Firewire bay, an LG...

Don't bother with a USB flash drive, use an ATA/IDE -to- Compact Flash adapter to boot from. These handy devices have been around for years. They are cheap. They use the mobo's ATA/IDE channel -- no USB. Below is just one of the many that are available...

I've owned one of these for 4 or 5 years now. It's definitely great for CD mastering work, but I would not recommend it for non-computer-literate octogenarians. ;-) http://www.zzounds.com/item--ALEML9600 http://www.alesis.com/product.php?id=4...

I believe this is the owl calendar that comes out each year. No, really! Cute owl pictures.

My C:\windows\system32\DLLCache folder is 200 MB (201,139,996 bytes) in Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition SP-1. It seems like YouTube deleted all the previous URLs to this educational video because the idiotic "copyright holder" complained about others stealing his video. In any case...

More like massive $$$ compared to free Linux or BSD. A commercial-grade hardware firewall and a professional firewall setup can do wonders for Windows hosting -- along with log monitoring and analysis.

BSD never looked better...

If it's got the RS-232 serial port header on the mobo, the mobo has at least one RS-232 serial port. As for a ribbon cable that plugs into the header on the mobo with a DB9 (or DB25) connector on the other end, they are nearly as common as dirt matey. I recently discarded a small pile of...

Allegedly, Samsung is mainly after Dubya Dee's *retail* biz. For what it's worth, "Samsung Caviar" sounds kinda weird, not to mention "Samsung Raptor."

I've saw a few Honeywell mouses back in the day, but have never used one. I believe those used a transducer that measured changes in capacitance between the transducer and the desk surface when the mouse moved around -- instead of optics or a ball.

Sheesh... Talking about ignorance! So, is file fragmentation causing overheating? Problems with no-name USB thumb drives using slow or crap flash memory devices and controllers is certainly not a new one...

I like the Logitech Marblemouse trackball the best, mainly because you can use it equally as good sitting down or standing up. I sort of recall the final generation or two of the MS Intellimouse Trackball (Microsoft exited the trackball business a couple of years ago) used a laser to track the...

I was surprised (a while back), when the final Core2 Duo specifications were announced, that the model lineup would NOT feature a processor with a 1333 MHz FSB speed anywhere in the mix. Intel had been talking 1333 MHz FSB for the desktop Core2 with a 1600 MHz FSB follow-up down the road. Only...

There's yet another digital graphics card connector standard that's been in the works for a little while called Unified Display Interface. This one is a unified design that will replace the common DVI connectors as well as the HDMI connector and support all existing functions currently found in...

Seagate seems to have fallen into a pattern of announcing a model lineup, then taking a good long while to actually start delivering some or all the model lineup to the retail channel. Then, during the gap in time between announcement and delivery, they start fidgeting with the model lineup in...

I was at Würst Büy this weekend, and just happened to have seen a "Firefly" DVD box set for $39.99. It claimed to be all of the episodes on four DVDs.

Old news from about 7 months ago. They have AMD mobos and whole servers, but only offer them as "OEM" items. If you buy one of the AMD servers, it will come with the retailer's nameplate on it (not Supermicro's). The mobos always only have Supermicro's name silkscreened on them. The retailer...
